2013 Race Schedule – First Six Months

I know. Who would think that I would have a race schedule that was only six months worth of races? I have, though, plotted out my races for the first six months of 2013. If I do get to all these races, I will hit my 13 in ’13 by the end of June. That… Continue reading 2013 Race Schedule – First Six Months

Packing for a Race

I would love to say that all the races I run are just walk out my door and I am there but that is seldom true.

A Quarter Ending

No, I have not taken up reporting my taxes on a quarterly basis.  I am, though, thinking it is time to review any of those goals, or if you use the term, or resolutions that were made back in January.  Without accountability, goals and resolutions and aspirations are just words – but hopefully ones that… Continue reading A Quarter Ending
